Grout Color Sealing Cost in DFW: Full Pricing Guide

At Hank's Carpet Cleaning, grout color sealing in DFW starts at $250 for a small or guest bathroom, $350 for a primary bath and $400 for a kitchen, with a $500 minimum per visit, before 8.25% Texas sales tax. Deep grout cleaning, filling missing grout, a touch-up kit and a 3-year labor warranty are included.

Those are starting prices. Your price comes from a few photos of the floor, and the tech confirms the final price on site after checking the size, the tile, the grout's condition and any repairs. Nothing is booked until you've seen your price.

Below: the full price list by room, how the visit minimum works, worked totals with tax, what's included, what can change the price, how color sealing compares with regrouting and a plain grout cleaning, and how to get your own price.

These are our starting prices for grout color sealing in DFW homes, before tax. Each one covers the full job for that room: deep cleaning, filling missing grout, the color sealant applied by hand, and the warranty.

• Small, hall or guest bathroom (up to 60 sq ft): from $250
• Jack and Jill bathroom (60 to 100 sq ft): from $300
• Primary bathroom (100 to 150 sq ft): from $350
• Dining room: from $300
• Kitchen: from $400
• Shower walls (walls only, never the shower base or floor): from $500
• Minimum per visit: $500

The $500 minimum is the least a color seal visit costs, before tax. If the rooms you choose add up to less than $500, the visit is billed at $500. If they add up to more, you pay what they add up to.

That's why most color seal jobs include more than one room. A single guest bath starts at $250, so on its own it would be billed at the $500 minimum. Add a second bathroom or the kitchen in the same visit and you get more floor done for close to the same money.

A few common pairings, using the starting prices above:

• Guest bath alone: $250 in rooms, billed at the $500 minimum
• Guest bath + Jack and Jill bath: $250 + $300 = $550
• Two guest baths: $250 + $250 = $500, right at the minimum
• Kitchen + dining room: $400 + $300 = $700
• Primary bath + kitchen: $350 + $400 = $750
• Primary bath floor + shower walls: $350 + $500 = $850

Our prices are before tax, and every invoice adds 8.25% Texas sales tax on top. Texas's state rate is 6.25%, and cities and other local taxing units can add up to 2% more, for a combined top rate of 8.25% (Texas Comptroller). Here are the same pairings with tax, at starting prices:

Texas Comptroller: sales and use tax

• $500 visit (the minimum): $41.25 tax, $541.25 total
• $550 (guest bath + Jack and Jill): $45.38 tax, $595.38 total
• $700 (kitchen + dining room): $57.75 tax, $757.75 total
• $750 (primary bath + kitchen): $61.88 tax, $811.88 total
• $850 (primary bath floor + shower walls): $70.13 tax, $920.13 total

Yes. Right now, booking through the 60-second color quiz on our grout color sealing page takes $50 off. It comes off before tax, so the $750 primary bath and kitchen job above becomes $700, or $757.75 with tax.

It's one discount per order, so the quiz offer doesn't combine with other coupons. If you have another code, you use whichever one you'd rather have.

Everything needed to give your grout one even, new color is in the starting price. There's no separate charge for the cleaning, the fills or the kit:

• A deep cleaning of every grout line before any color goes on, so the sealant bonds to clean grout instead of years of dirt.
• Filling in missing grout before sealing. That's included, not an add-on.
• The color sealant, applied by hand one grout line at a time, in the color you pick.
• A preview of your floor in the new color before you book, when you send photos.
• A touch-up kit in your color, so a small nick can be fixed in seconds years from now.
• A 3-year labor warranty covering peeling, chipping and scraping, as long as no bleach or very harsh scrubbing is used. Regular mopping is fine.

The starting prices fit most DFW tile floors. The tech confirms the final price on site, and four things can move it:

• Size: a room bigger than its line on the price list. A primary bath larger than 150 sq ft or an extra-large kitchen is priced to fit.
• The tile: some tile takes more time to work around than others, and we look at it in your photos before giving a price.
• Grout condition: grout that's heavily stained, worn deep or has a lot of missing spots takes more prep before the color can go on.
• Repairs: grout that needs more than normal fills is checked and priced on site.

The photo at the top of this page is a guest bathroom we color sealed in Lantana, just up the road from Argyle. The homeowner wanted it refreshed before relatives came to stay. The tile was well cared for, but the grout color varied from one part of the room to another. We cleaned the grout and hand-applied a matching color, and the floor kept its original tile.

That's the kind of room the $250 small bathroom line is built for: a powder or guest bath with sound tile and grout that just looks tired. On its own it's billed at the $500 minimum, which is why a guest bath is usually booked with a second bathroom or the kitchen.

Before listing their Colleyville home, these owners had us color seal the foyer and the kitchen. The tile was in good condition, but uneven grout color stood out in the rooms planned for the listing photos. We cleaned the grout and applied a matching color across both areas.

Jobs like this one are priced from photos, because an entry or hallway isn't a single line on the price list. The kitchen part starts at $400, and the entry is added to the same visit. See more of our work on our Colleyville grout color sealing page.

Shower walls are their own line on the price list, starting at $500, because the grout runs from the tub or base up the walls, around fixtures, corners and niches, and every line is cleaned and colored by hand.

We color seal shower walls only, never the shower base or floor. If you want the bathroom floor done too, it's priced on its own line, like the $850 primary bath and shower example above. Showers are priced from photos, so send a picture of each wall.

Color sealing costs less than regrouting. Regrouting means grinding or raking the old grout out of every joint and packing new grout in its place. It's the right fix when grout is crumbling or cracked through, but it's a bigger, messier job, and published cost guides price it well above our starting prices.

The guides don't agree with each other, so here are two, named, with what they measure:

This Old House: cost to regrout a shower · HomeWyse: cost to regrout tile

• This Old House (updated June 2026): regrouting a shower runs $600 to $2,500, and cement grout work runs about $5 to $7 per square foot, $8 to $12 for epoxy grout.
• HomeWyse (May 2026): a national estimate of $15.84 to $34.75 per square foot to regrout tile, including removing the old grout, installing new grout and cleanup.
• This Old House also puts retiling a shower at $1,800 to $5,000 on average.

If your grout color is fine and it's just dirty, you may not need color sealing at all. Here's how our three grout options compare on price:

• Tile and grout cleaning: $0.90 per square foot, $500 minimum, before tax. Done with truck-mount equipment, and you can see your exact price and book it online.
• Clear grout sealer: protects the grout but keeps its current color, stains and all. Quoted from photos or with a tile and grout cleaning.
• Grout color sealing: from $250 for a bathroom, $500 minimum per visit, before tax. Deep cleaning first, then one even new color plus a seal that helps the grout resist spills and stains, with a 3-year labor warranty.

You can. Grout colorant is sold to homeowners, and a bottle costs far less than a professional job. Whether it saves money depends on the prep, because the color is only as good as the grout it's bonded to.

The makers spell out what that prep takes. TEC's data sheet for its grout colorant says the grout must be clean before application, and LATICRETE's says the joints must be clean, dry and free of old sealers or coatings. LATICRETE also says to wait at least 14 days before using harsh cleaning tools on the finished grout.

TEC Grout Colorant product data sheet (H.B. Fuller) · LATICRETE Grout Colorant & Sealer data sheet

• The cleaning: getting years of mop water residue, grease and dirt out of every line is the hardest part, and color put on over dirt peels with the dirt.
• The fills: missing or low spots have to be filled before the color goes on, or they show.
• The application: the color belongs on the grout, line by line. Color that spreads onto the tile has to come off before it sets.
• The time: a kitchen or a whole bathroom is a lot of grout lines, done on your knees.

Grout color sealing prices are hard to compare, because companies bundle different things into the number. Before you compare any two quotes, including ours, ask these questions:

• Is the deep grout cleaning included, or is it a separate charge?
• Is filling missing grout included?
• Is the color applied by hand to each grout line?
• Is there a minimum per visit, and how much is it?
• Is the price before or after sales tax?
• How long is the warranty, and what does it cover and not cover?
• Do I get a touch-up kit in my color?
• For showers: is it the walls only, or the base too?
• Is the price confirmed before work starts?

Most color-sealed grout lasts 5 to 10 years with proper care. Spread over that time, a $750 job works out to about $75 to $150 a year before tax, and the 3-year labor warranty covers peeling, chipping and scraping in the first three of them.

What decides where you land in that range is mostly prep, traffic and how the floor gets cleaned afterward. Skip bleach and very harsh scrubbing, and use the touch-up kit on any nicks. Our guide on how long grout color sealing lasts covers the details.

You get your price from photos, without an in-home visit. Here's how it works:

• 1. Take two photos of each area: one of the whole room from the doorway and one close-up of the grout lines.
• 2. Take the 60-second color quiz on our grout color sealing page, or text the photos to (817) 697-7500.
• 3. We text back your price and a preview of your floor in the color you picked.
• 4. Pick a date. Color seal jobs book at least 7 days out, which gives us time to prep and order your color.
• 5. On the day, the tech confirms the final price on site.

No. The starting prices are the same in every city we serve, whether you're in Colleyville, north Fort Worth, Argyle or anywhere else in our area. Sales tax is the same 8.25% on our invoices, and the $500 minimum is the same everywhere.
